Enkei XM-6 20x8.5 are here! Continental ExtremeContact DWS 255/50/20 tires are also here!

First, checking the WEIGHT and finding they are indeed nice and light for this size.

Our NEW 20 inch Enkei and Continental Tire combo is exactly 5 pounds of unsprung weight per corner lighter than stock! That is amazing given we are moving from 18x8 to 20x8.5 with this Enkei XM-6 Storm Grey and Continental ExtremeContact DWS6 Plus....in wider 255/50/20 size.

Sun came out again, a few shots in full Sun! I love it, looks so much better to my eyes than the tiny little dark stock 18x8.

Looks perfect! I think that a ridgeline is likely going to be my next DD and this wheel/tire combo is a path I may copy :D

Now if only there were more suspension options available. It would look so much better to drop the rear a couple of inches to level out the ride. I personally can't stand the stink bug look in many of the trucks out there and can't imagine that it would affect the load capability enough to matter for me.

Glad you like it, lowering springs likely going in next week.

Picture of Gibson Duals with Black Tips, we will offer this choice too.
